I've been using the betting analyst for a month now. It's easy to use, automatic and inexpensive. http://www.cynthiapublishing.com/swcompare.html

To all this is a good posting. Let me put this out to you all. In your opinion what made the horse a winner or a loser, take some time don't just jump in and spout off something, this is a serious question and your answer will bring to the front if you have what it takes to win at this game. I will take this a step further is it about finding the winner or is it finding the value, two distinct scenarios with two distinct results.

Which ever approach one uses if your selections are showing a profit over an extended period of time then it works for you. No two people will handicap alike and for some record keeping is minimal for others more detailed, for some not at all. In each race there are multiple outcomes, nothing is predetemined.

The Morning Line says there will be such or such as the favorite, is that not predetermined whether the horse ends up as the favorite is how the public feels about who was selected as the most probable winner. But my question was what you thought from your handicapping made this horse a winner and if it didn't win do you try and determine what might have happened. Or a better way to put it after a loss, how long do the losses mount up before you tweak your handicapping, if you do, or do you ride it out.

For me keeping records for the first time in my life has been eye opening. Since the first of August fast dirt sprints i'm +1.45 roi. Turf routes 0/45 and I thought I was doing pretty well on turf bets. Also i'll make large show bets at times just for the casino comp pts. I thought that was breakeven at best, but it's +1.20 roi. A while back ritchie P. had a test going on fast dirt sprint claimers. Since that seems to be my strongest category would like to revisit that thread but can't seem to it.
